Rich Men of the Metropolis Recruit
Their Wasted EnerGies
NEW 1ORK, Jan. 22.--I occasionally
notice short, tbick-set man, SONS five
teet eight inches in height and with a
Jolly, well-fed appearance, entering the
Exchange Club building in New street
1t Is James d. Smith, President OF the
stock Exchange, He is also President of
the Exchange aad New York Clubs and
one OF the most popular men in New York.
A man of generous impulses aid cheerful
disposition, he has friends wherever he is
known. For several years he was Vice
President Of the Stock Exchange, and on
the retirement of j. Edward Simmons
from that office he was unanimously elect
ed President. He has bluff, cordial man
ners. He is one of the CommOdores of
the New YORK Yacht Club and owns the
yacht Estelle. He ia worth about 81 900.
600. In tue stock brokerage business be
acts IN conjunction with the wealthy
Jamesons OF Philadelphia. He has been
member of tbe Stock Exchange since
1865 and was originally in the dry goods
business. i1e lives in Stamford, Conn,
which is not far from New York, and he
comes TO the city daily. He has very
fine country seat and enjoys life. The
Exchange Club, by the way, though
one OF the youngest of New
York clubs, is one of the most
promising. The success of the Down
Town Club in Pine street and OF the Mer-
chants Club in Leonard street, the latter
nFIGp1 largely of TX Al 10
srs in dry goods, led to the formation of
the Exchange CLUB, which was opened to
the members some months ago. The de-
sign is to give the members of the Stock
Produce, Petroleum, Cotton and other
exchanges quiet, elegant resort, and sn
opportunity tOentertain their friends in q
more hospItabe manner and with more
eXclusiveness than would be possible in
noisy public restaurant. The number
Of members is limited TO 500 and no one is
eligible under the age of 81. No card
playing is allowed; the only game per
mitted is billiards. This rule reflects par
ticular credit on the founders OF the club.
Gard playing at sOmeof the uptown clubs
is carried to excess; the elegant card
rooms are at times no better than the
gambling dens which would be raided by
the police. The Exchange Club building
IS a fine structure. with large oriel win
dows, and is set gable to the street, in the
ancient Dutch fashion now coming again
into vogue. 1t is fitted up in splendid
style.

A NOTED writer says that in the wo-
men of this country is developed more
fully what may be described by the
world as the american type" AL
though each section of the United
States possesses its own types and
characteristic distinctions, yet the
rapid communication between North,
South, East and West, which has
brought the people into nearer relation
with each other, has resulted in q par
tial disappearance of sectional manner
isms. This is more apparent in the
women than among the men. The
former are gifted with keener percep-
tions, and also adapt themselves more
readily to prevailing customs of speech
and gesture.

The existence of coal on Vancouver
Island WAS known to the traders OF
the Hudson Bay Company as far back
as lS3I. The Indians, indeed, had
been acquainted with the coal deposits
much longer, but not with their value
as fuel. In the year mentioned above
Il party of Quackoll> from the north
end ui the island were at Fort Me
Laughlln for trading PURPOSES. Their
curiosity led them into the blacksmith
shop, where they stood Watching in
tcntly the movements ui the smith, as
he drew from the fire the incandcsccnt
metal and hammered ii into shape
upon the anvil. Presently he took
from Il little pile some hard, So"ty sub
stance and threw it on the fire, which
under PRE- s>urc of the bellows began to
cracklc and glow with intense heat
The white man could make stone
burn. The astnnishcd children OF the
wood picked up some humps from the
pile, turned them over, rubbed them
between their hands. broke them, bit
them and then threw them down with
questionable grunt.
What is that?' they demanded.

said that She has Il right to trial by
her beers and that men are not her
IwvrS. This thought never occurred
until lately, as women on trial have
never challenged jurors on that ground.
The evil which the Legislature i'll
tended to remove was the abuse, and
Imprisonment, and robbery oi women,
by bad husbands. The object WAS
good, and am sorry to know that no
law can effect much in this matter.
1t will ~ scmc good, however. There
never ,'an be much effective applica-

band a good one.
For the reasons above stated, am
uf the opinion that the law as to quail

\ LudicrOuS Nickname.

We think most people readily sus-
pcct tn origin of wcbfoOt" as being
applied to Orcgonians, but they do
not so generally comprehend why they
were nicknamcd Lop-cars?" For
light on this question we have but to
refer the inquirer to Hubert Howe
Bancroft's History of Oregon, Vol. |,
in which he will find Il copious ex-
PLANTATION, and from which We CLEAN
the following brief extract:
1t has often been repeated, without
SO much as Il qualifying doubt, that
thc Spaniards travelling up the north
crn coast met tribe of Indians with
ears of extreme length, weighed down
by heavy ornaments and from this cir
cumstancc the Spania,ds called them
Lop-cars" and ;hc country La TERRA
de- los Oregons, which became cor
ruptcd into Oregon by Englishmcn
and Americans. Others assert that
while the derivation is correct it was
not properly applied by these first
named writer's, but that it signifies the
country OF lop-cared rabbits, this ami
NAL abounding there as well as in Cal
ifornia; So popular became this theory
| in the mining times Of 1889 that the
Orcgonians went 10y the name OF" Lop-
ears" among Californian miners In
deed, suspect this opportunity to rid
iculr thcir ohtruding neighborS, prov
ing tuo good to be lost really first gave
currency to the idea. From Jest it
grew t" earnest; sober minded people
began t. look for more distant origin
| On investigation it does not appear
that amy tribe upon the Oregon coast
was ever more addicted to ear orna-
mcntation than is common to all sav.
age natio.-, or that they wore heavier
ornaments. Neither is Oregon inhab.
tied hy l"p-rared rabbits i'll Il degree to
distinguish it from some other coun-
tries.

Postal Telegraph.

The following are the provisions of
the new postal telegraph bill, known
as the Edmunds-Hill bill, in the SEN
ate:
These sections provide for the es-
tablishment by the Postmaster General
of postal telegraph system by con-
tracing for the performance of SER
vice with existing telegraph compan-
les. The Government is required to
furnish officers and make provisions
for the selling of stamps to cover the
charges. The schedule of rates is fixed
at 20 cents for twenty words where the
distance of transmission is 1000 miles,
and five cents for every additional 25O
miles, provided, that no greater charge
for twenty words or less shall be more
than so cents. Night rates are fixed
at Is cents for 1000 miles or under.
All words, except the date, are to be
counted, and for every five words, or
less, in excess of twenty, an addition
of One-fifth of the twenty word rate is
to be charged. Press rates are fixed
at not exceeding 35 cents for each one
hundred words sent at night and IS
cents during the day and a pro rata
for each word in excess of 100. "Drop
copies" are not to exceed 25 cents per
100 words at night and so cents during
the day. The Postmaster General is
required to retain three cents from the
charges upon each message and pay
over the remainder to the company as
full compensation for its services.
The company may maintain its own
offices outside of postoffices for the
transmission OF kilograms upon it's own
rates. The Postmaster General is re-
quired to advertise for sealed proposals
for the performance of the service and
to contract. with the company whose
proposal is deemed the most favorable.
Bonds are required for faithful per-
formance of the duties and the con-
tract is to contain provisions which
will prevent discrimination in order
of transmission unfavorable to the pos
tai telegraph. The contract is to ex-
tend over five years and after COM
pany shall have fully and fairly per-
formed its duties it may be extended
for another five years upon condition
that uniform rate at or below the
lowest rates specified in this act, and
without regard to distance, shall be
adopted, in which case the Govern
ment will deduct only two cents for
each telegram instead of three. The
company entering into this contract is
required at once to open for use, as
provided in the act such lines as it
may have at the time and is allowed
four years within which to put in op-
Grafton such additional lines as may
be required. The Postmaster General
is directed to advertise for sealed pro-
posals to sell existing lines and fran
chises to the Government, and if any
of the proposals received are deemed
fair and reasonable he is required to
report the same to Congress.

The United States produces in an
average year less than one-fourth of
the whole. The average yield per
acre in this country is above that of
Russia or British India, but consider
ably below the average of Great Brit
ain and the best districts of France
The department rcckons that the aver
age in 1856 was l24 bushels per acre.
This has been about the average since
1850, though i'll parts of different
States this average is far exceeded, as
for instance the Walla Walla valley,
which produces an average rs that OF
Great Britain. In England 80 bush
els per acre is considered Il good yield,
while i'll Russia and India a farmer
who harvcsts nine bushels per acre
considers he is doing very well.
The department figures the value of
the crop ut the place of production at
6S.! cents IL bushcl, as against III
cents in 1885 and 64.j cents in 1854.
The crop Of 1856 realized to the farmer
something like $3I4,000,000. L. was
formerly considered impossible to raise
wheat for cent IL pound, but We have
learned to do Il great many things
whith our fathers could not accom-
,lish

The Wheat Crop.

The Department OF Agriculture has
completed the work Of compiling and
analyzing the crop returns for 1856,
and few details reach us by telegraph
The total wheat crop is given as 457 :
100000 bushels, which does not vary
much from the first estimates, though
since they were formed, many correc-
tions OF detail have been made. For
instance, the crop OF the northwestern
states has proved to be larger and that
Of California smaller than was at first
reckoned. The total crop Of 1856 COM
parcs as follows with that of the pre-
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1887-02-18

1t THUS appears that, notwithstanding
the constantly increasing acreage
brought under cultivation, the crop
has not materially increased since
1879. II seems that as fast as new
sod is broken and the land planted in
wheat, other land, formerly planted i'll
wheat, is devoted to other uses. The
acreage in wheat does not vary much
taking one year with another, from 80
million acres. Other whcat-growing
countries, with the exception of British
India, are equally stationary, both as to
shows the product of the principal
producers
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1887-02-18

IT is likely that the people of New
York State will be given an oppor-
tunity at their next fall election, if not
sooner, TO vote on prohibition. A ma
jority Of the members of Legislature
seems to favol the submission of the
question to the people.
